I love bad movies whereas going to the theater for me is a painful experience. I think it's really hard to sit and watch actors do something live and have it not go well.
Cronenberg's a lot of fun and that a lot of people don't know watching his movies. He doesn't take himself seriously. He's still reinventing himself.
I want people to think about movies and how we watch them. Let them know it's okay to question the structure or how we're sometimes duped into a false sense of normalcy. Most of all I want people to question the old standard practices of 'This is how the structure of something should work ' or 'This is how a character must behave.'
Whenever I think about movies I always look at that art process as having the best of a lot of worlds. Because if you watch a great film you have a musical element to it not just on the scoring but in the way that the shots are edited - that has music and rhythm and time.
Ever since 'Lassie' and 'Old Yeller' I won't watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die.
I use to watch like maybe three or four movies five days out of the week. I was a movie buff but I really didn't know what it was like behind the scenes or the whole political process of it.
I grew up watching Steven Spielberg and scary movies.
And the VCR did the same thing: the movie industry thought nobody would ever watch movies any more.
As a kid I liked the 'Halloween' movies and 'Nightmare On Elm Street' and all that kind of stuff. But as an adult I really don't watch much horror to be honest.
I watch movies occasionally and I watch documentaries. Virtually nothing else.
